Thanks for reminding me that stripes are big for Spring, you gave me some great suggestions.<br /> Thanks, Angie, I tried the skirt on with a button down blouse and it looks very nice.<br /> I already ordered the skirt in black as well because it's easier to style but now with all the great advice I am feeling that I can pull it through with the striped skirt. Thanks for all the great ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1192391 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 15:08:21 +0000 Angie 1192391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go the classic route by tucking in a button down blouse or shirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1191305 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:48:51 +0000 Joyce B 1191305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Viva, a top like the one you showed may work.<br /> DonnaF, I just got the skirt today and I think you are absolutely right. I don't work in fashion or art, either, so it seems that I will either keep it for fun occasions or just return it. Now I know why Angie called it "a lot of skirt".<br /> I will hang on to it for a little bit and see what I can come up with, probably copying from Angie's post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1191144 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 00:40:14 +0000 DonnaF 1191144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that skirt on a mannikin last week.&nbsp; The shininess combined with the wide stripes and fullness make it a real stand-out, memorable piece.&nbsp; I think I would find it quite a challenge to wear to work unless I worked in the fashion or other artsy industry.&nbsp; &nbsp; The other challenge is to make the wearer the boss of the skirt rather than the other way around.&nbsp; It is truly a drool-worth skirt, so I was relieved to see that my size is out of stock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190291 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 11:27:04 +0000 viva 1190291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a JCrew Tippi sweater -- in any color? Its 3/4 sleeve and simple cut would be great and also have a little retro vibe (think Grace Kelly) and could be dressed up with heels or down with flats. You could also wear it untucked for a slouchy look (less dressy, less shine) or tuck it in and belt it for more polish and defined waist. Versatile.<br />Right now, they are 25% off at jcrew.com. [ETA: A handful of colors are currently $44.99 (final sale) PLUS 25% off.]</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190285 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 11:21:38 +0000 Joyce B 1190285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for understanding, Gigi. I am trying hard not to buy clothing for an imaginary lifestyle so I need to be sure that the skirt will work for daily routine dressing, boring but that's what it is.<br /> I have too much weekend clothing already.<br /> I will keep all the suggestions in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190127 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 02:51:55 +0000 Gigi 1190127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a world we live in...we must take a "fun" skirt and make it more boring for work! Ha ha. But I know what you mean.</p> <p>I liked Rabbit's suggestion of any tailored, solid, crisp button-down, tucked. And I wonder about wearing a more-fitted solid knit untucked. That would cover up some of the skirt and make the shine&nbsp;less prominent. I think you could probably also do a very plain solid shirt, tucked, with a black or white cardigan over the top.</p> <p>For shoes, I suppose you would want to stick with something pretty conservative. Maybe nude kitten heels?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190026 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:25:58 +0000 Joyce B 1190026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Rabbit, Angie and K.</p> <p>Angie, because it looks like a fun skirt and I need to tame it down for work, so I am wondering if it is too shiny for routine wear. So far I got the Eileen Fisher crewneck in different colors to see what works</p> <p><a href="http://m.nordstrom.com/Product/Details/3573985?origin=keywordsearch" rel="nofollow">http://m.nordstrom.com/Product.....wordsearch</a></p> <p>because for me to wear it for work it needs to be styled a bit less fun than in your blog. I know I need to make it a bit boring but that's how it is.<br /> I do love the styling suggestions on your blog, but for fun occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190019 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:22:04 +0000 Kristin L 1190019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhh... I've been drooling over that skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>It looks like it could be cute with a knit top and flats. Or what about a low heel and a button down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190008 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:15:30 +0000 Angie 1190008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ensemble idea was taken directly from my wardrobe so that is how I will wear it as everyday wear.&nbsp;Why can't you do a similar thing, Joyce?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1190005 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 00:13:50 +0000 rabbit 1190005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a gorgeous skirt. &nbsp;</p> <p>Black or white or neutrals with it, and possibly a blazer&nbsp;that works with the proportions seem safe bets for conservative office wear. &nbsp;On the website the model is wearing it with a pale&nbsp;chambray shirt tucked in which also seems like a more casual way to wear it, &nbsp;or any solid color button up shirt. Her black and white shoes are killer with it, but I think a variety of shoes that pair well with flared midi's&nbsp;could work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/halogen-pleat-midi-skirt-in-stripe#post-1189961 Sun, 09 Mar 2014 23:34:50 +0000 Joyce B 1189961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the skirt in two sizes to be sure it fits and saw it today at Nordies. The fabric looks shiny, it would probably work well for a special occasion. How would you style it and wear it for "normal" daily wear or for work in a semi-conservative office? I am a bit stumped with this one and if I keep it I must be sure it does not become an orphan. I do not want it to be for special occasions only.<br /> Thanks for any suggestions </p>
